Gradac - 28/05

Mainland Europe - Day 33
Sibenik --> Gradac

Further down the stunning Croatian Coast we stumbled upon one of those town you know you could only find when driving through a country. On the main road we saw a sign for a Hostel, which intrigued us as we had not come across one hostel in Croatia so far.

We followed the signs and found a brand new hostel. It comprised of several old stone buildings had been renovated beautifully. The rooms we were given had never been used, the beds had never been slept in. The shower was super hi-tech with seven water spouts, a light and a radio. In fact, the shower was so hi-tech that we couldn't work out how to use it and had to get some directions from the owner.

We settled in, making some noodles for dinner, using our gas stove on the window ledge. Then we headed out to explore.

We discovered a picture perfect stone fishing village wedged between soaring mountains and crystal clear waters. We swam in the beautiful sea, and then had a couple of beers sitting on the pier jutting out from the waterside restaurants.

Not a tourist in site, it was one of those places you could stay forever, but onward we must go. Dubrovnik here we come, to hook up with some Irish friends who are going to be there for the weekend.
